Hey sorry guys that got the GI Bill, served, laid in the mud, went to wars, gave up your bodies, etc. Little Johnny who ****ed off for 6 years and got a useless degree gets his stuff relieved and you served to get your deal. Hope digging with that etool was worth it.
That’s how my college was paid for. Hell, Greed could have been college educated had he not dodged the draft.
Same here. Guess I could be like Greed and living off of a handout. I’ll retire comfortably before I’m 60.
I’ll have a hell of a time in between and won’t be a miserable, old, prick like you. Are you just jealous that you haven’t had a successful life?
Actually, I’ll die with a lot, just can’t take it with me. However, my wife will be secure if I go first and then my daughter won’t have to worry during her lifetime about unexpected expenses and doesn’t have things like student loan debt to worry about.
Why not, Trump did it six times. GM and Chrysler bankruptcies, all these PPE loans these companies don't have to pay back, etc etc. IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY.
The both of you together have nothing. When either/both of you die, you would give everything you've ever had for 1 day of my last 44 years.
This has nothing to do with Trump or politics. It has to do with responsibility.
Surprisingly, some of the most vocal advocates to have their debt cancelled are the richest and most connected.
Then why are people leaving blue states? If Florida was run like New Jersey do think it would be like it is or more like Cuba is?
I didn't know Trump also ran GM and Chrysler. Shit man, had you told me that I might have voted for him.
Yeah, but not as much as you'd like to think. First, you've already told us your parents helped you, so how much would you have had to borrow without that luxury, and how long would it take you to pay it off? Secondly, according to your $4000 = $40,000 statement, that would mean you're appx 85 years old. That would mean you're prime working years included wages that were worth more then than now. If you had to work for minimum wage the first 20 years after graduation, you'd have made the appx equivalent of $11.25/hr. In the meantime most of the 53 million Americans working in low-wage jobs are adults in their prime working years, or between about 25 to 54. Their median hourly wage is $10.22 per hour. And about 42% of U S workers make less than $15/hr.
Not nearly that old. According to evaluation table, $100 dollars in the mid 60s would be worth $882 today so my $4000 would be around $36000 today. Right?
If Florida was run exactly like it is now and had New Jersey weather, then you'd have a point. 39% of people moving to Florida cited retirement as the main reason.
You would have had to borrow the money in 1957 for $4000 to be equal to $40,000 now.
it is not just the weather. NY has millions of people and cold weather. People are not just leaving because of weather and you know that. NC, SC, GA, TN are all booming. Texas booming. Others state have had an influx of people from California move to them.
Not according to my chart. I quoted the information. In 1965, $100 would increase to $882 in 2022. And I did say it was “around $4,000.”
He wasn't a politician when his companies racked up six bankruptcies due to debt. He's just a name indicative of a culture where corporations and the rich often don't pay their bills, because he plastered his name all over the companies that shirked their debts. Hell average people also misuse bankruptcy and the legal system, none of this should be a shock to anyone.
Well that is reason enough to not like her. At least Biden drives a Corvette. So did Colin Powell. And the goddamn Apollo astronauts. CORVETTE, AMERICAN HORSEPOWER.
Probably because people have been watching corporations get free money, something about the goose and the gander.
And I've already told you that is the American way, and has been for a while now.
Because their real estate in the red states shot up in value so much they could cash out and move somewhere with decent weather. Notice no one is moving to North Dakota (Trump by 33 in 2020). Actually Fargo is growing, but it's ran by the Democrats lol...more on that in the next paragraph.
Did someone say it was just the weather? I suspect people are making more money in other states and retiring in Florida due to weather and lower cost of living.
Not just America. The whole world has bought into this philosophy. Society (i.e., man) has jumped the proverbial shark.
Yes it does have to do with your basic beliefs. You want people to be responsible in paying back their education loan, but in a different world than we grew up in. It's a different game now. It costs more to go to college and people are making less wages. You're more or less forced to go to college, go head over hill in debt and spend a lifetime paying it off, or not go to college and make a wage that's not enough to do much of anything. It's irresponsible for us as a society to allow this game with these rules. No one in the United States should be working for less than $15/hour.
Northern blue staters who have florida condos are selling their northern home because housing values are insane. Had a neighbor in this position who just couldn't pass up the profit opportunity. Said he might buy another, smaller place here in the future - but the opportunity was just too good to stay put.
Hardly. The trades are begging for people and the salaries are very good.
